Have a Meal Before You Go

Today's echo was somewhat unsettled. It is unusual to look at Iron Tiger's gaze while moving around.

Chulho knew that Echo was acting strange these days. First, the fish in the refrigerator was disappearing very quickly. Even though I've never done much fish cooking.

What the hell is he doing? Anxiety always comes first when he does that.

Cheolho called out a nondictated echo while looking at the newspaper.

“Echo.”

“Hic!”

Echo is surprised and rolls his eyes at Chulho.

“Do you like fish these days? ”

“Bird, bird, fish? ”

Echo shakes his head.

“I hate this body. ”

“Really?"

“Well, yes! ”

Then Echo opens his mouth to see if he has changed his mind.

“Hey, Cheolho. ”

“Why.”

“Give this body some fish. ”

“Fish?"

“Huh."

Cheolho got up from his seat.

“Why are you greeting for fish? Speak if you must. If you take it without saying anything, you shouldn't have to buy it again. ”

“Ah. I'm not eating it. ”

Cheolho tilts his head and heads toward the refrigerator. The refrigerator was filled with well-organized fish. I just bought them. They're fresh.

“Bake it? ”

At Chulho's words, Echo shakes his head.

Echo comes running to Udada, pulling out a bunch of medium-small fish from the refrigerator and hugging him.

“No! I'll be back! ”

Pot!

And then he disappeared.

Chulho was baffled by the unknown actions of the Demon King, and returned to the table and spread the newspaper. For Chulho, dealing with the odd Demon King Eco was more tiring than dealing with women.

In the newspaper, there was an article that was only on the front page.

[Poriner's executive, Black Mamba. Died!]

[It has been discovered that Poriner's latest incarcerated black mamba has died.]

[... two months since the death of Poriner's mistress Nightmare...]

The cause of death was a heart attack, a refusal to eat.

Black Mamba's dead?

Chulho quietly read the article. I turned the page with a smile on my face. I thought the association would take care of it.

[Calorie Detective Kim Young-jin's Today Menu]

What matters is this way.

Nowadays, Cheolho is quite tired of thinking about the daily menu. This corner of Kim Young-jin was quite helpful because it was limited to meat as well as giving out food and liking it.

“Let's see…..”

What's on the menu today?

.

Echo, who had disappeared, appeared in the middle of the South Sea. It was on a land of enormous icebergs. The iceberg was moving very slowly over the water.

I remember this place for sure. I can come anytime.

Echo drops the fish in his arms. And I spit. I always hated the smell of fish.

On the other side of the water, something's happening! I reached out my head.

Cough, cough!

Soon, other bastards reached out their heads as well.

It was a penguin.

The penguin family had been reduced a lot. Echo gave one fish to the penguins. It's well-groomed, and the remaining white flesh of the fish penguins have been eaten from the flounder.

“Huh, is it good? Minor trinkets.”

Echo laughed and sincerely handed over the fish, but without any remaining fish, he shook his hand in the cold sea water. Suddenly, a baby penguin ran up to Echo and smashed my face in his chest.

Cough, cough!

I smiled slightly at Echo's face, but I stood up cold.

“Don't bother yourself. ”

The baby penguin looks up and tilts his head. Echo pauses, then crouches and touches Penguin. Penguin's skin was soft, but it was like touching a rug.

“Huh, you're pretty good. ”

Echo has been touching penguins for a long time.

It was one of the things that happened after the circumnavigation of the world.

These are the penguins that are in charge of the lowest level of the ecosystem, and the number of them is decreasing and they're going to die soon.

“Huh?"

An odd creature caught in Echo's eyes. The creature was small, but was wearing a fur hat and clothing. In that state, he was running a burinake.

“.......? ”

After that, a bear is chasing you. The bear rushes forward, determined to grab and eat. A strange creature passes before Echo's eyes.

Then I know who I am.

“You're a Goblin, right?”

It was a Goblin.

The Goblin said, "Dada!" Then he took a snowball out of my fur bag and started throwing it at the bear.

Squeaky squeaky squeaky!

A snowball flew in and struck the bear. Then the bear turned into a giant snowball. Is it effective?

Cough!

Of course, it just turned into a regular snowball, but it doesn't seem to have any other abilities. The bear smashes its snowball and sprints back to the Goblin.

“Huh?"

However, the bear's expression is not unusual. The bear was being chased by something, too.

Echo looks back. I don't see it. If so, no. Underneath all this ice?

Back then.

Kwajijijik!

The whole land where Echo was walking split apart and a huge Agari appeared.

Pot!

Echo made a space move to the sky and looked down.

It was a giant monster. The ground splits apart into ice sculptures. The land carrying the penguins and the Goblins was destroyed and began to float.

Echo frowns.

In the depths of the sea, it was Gigalodon that flashed both eyes. Zero rank boss monster, Gigalodon. He was a pretty annoying monster, so he was pretty vivid in Echo's memory.

Gigalodon hides in the water again. Echo gains, grinds and uses Express to make Magic Ammo.

Jaaaah!

Magic grenades are all around me. Echo sprinkles it into the sea. Master class, Revolver.

Su-ang!

P-u-ng!

There was an explosion everywhere.

But.

“Huh?"

Gigalodon came out of the water and began to flee to the other side.

Then the two eyes of Echo saw a blue wave coming from the other side.

“Huh?"

I thought it was water, but it wasn't water. It was a giant translucent jellyfish colony. The jellyfish had a jolt of electricity inside them.

“Huff!”

Echo realized the seriousness of the situation. That's the Boomer Jellyfish. They're called bomb jellyfish, and tens of millions of them live in colonies.

What is unique is that the colonies so made move as one organism. Fortunately, they have not been premeditated, but are extremely peaceful.

Unhappy?

Unfortunately, they're angry now. When they get angry, they self-destruct, but their destructive power completely destroys them.

It looks like Gigalodon is running away from them.

And.......

“Oh, no. ”

One of Echo's grenades flies into their colony.

Kwaguang!

Direct hit!

The color of the jellyfish colony changed gradually. Twitch! Twitch! But then, he began to run like crazy.

Echo's back is sweating. Echo turns. Then I moved to the floating penguin family land. And on the ground, pod! and disappeared.

Kuguaguava overload!

Soon, there was a huge explosion. The massive land of ice evaporates without a trace.

* * *

Cheolho looks at Echo and asks. After taking a bunch of fish, Echo soon returned, making a mess of the restaurant along with a pretty big chunk of ice.

“Where in the world did that penguin come from? ”

“Uh....... in the South Sea? ”

“South Sea.......”

Cheolho had also seen Echo's logbook, so he seemed to know what he was talking about.

“Why did you bring him here? ”

The penguins coughed as if it were very hot in the early summer and were dying of heat.

“That.......”

Echo replies with a slightly faint voice after he clears his throat twice.

“This body accidentally blows a part of you away. ”

“.......? ”

“That was a mistake. ”

Chulho didn't ask me what the hell happened. Instead, you duck down next to the penguins, pointing at the Goblin plucking out his tongue and asking again.

“What about that Goblin? ”

The Detect Eye has revealed the identity of the Goblin.

- Snowman Goblin.

Goblins that evolved in various directions were sometimes found on the ice shelves of Espan continent. They've evolved to eat ice or snow, and their survival strategy is to take the snow out of their pockets and turn them into snowmen and run away.

Anyway, Goblins aren't all that normal.

‘What to do.'

Chulho, who was thinking of the bear, opened the subspace and called Qasim.

“Qasim.”

“Yes, Steelho! ”

Qasim gives you a clear answer.

“Huh?"

And I opened my eyes wide. It's because I saw a Goblin trying to die from the heat.

I was cheerful.

“Goblins!”

Cheolho narrows his eyes. Qasim's eyes were unusual. If you're not mistaken, that was the snow that fell in love...... Chulho had never seen him fall in love so quickly since the Khan, I swear.

“I've never seen a Goblin so beautiful! ”

It must have been a female.

Chulho puzzled his eyes and asked.

“Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, you got a spot in the winter cellar, right? ”

“Make it without it! ”

Kasim nods and shouts.

Not really.

Cheolho suddenly smiled. He must have been pretty lonely without saying a word.

Sub-space is wide.

In that vast space, Qasim has lived alone for a long time.

Somehow, I feel like he didn't care too much. I felt pretty sorry for him, and I stroked Qasim's head.

“You must have been lonely.”

“Oh, no, Mr. Steelho! ”

Chulho left the penguin family and the Goblins to Kasim. Suddenly, the baby penguins! I turned around and stumbled at Echo, spreading my two little wings.

Cough, cough!

Echo stands still and strokes the young penguin as Chulho turns his head deliberately. And I brought it to Qasim.

“I'll make room in the Winter Warehouse! ”

“Yes."

Qasim snorts and disappears to the other side of the room. Cheolho saw an echo with a proud face.

.

In a few days.

On his way back from shopping, Chulho saw a man leaning down the alleyway. He was tall, but he was dressed like a rag, and he was wearing a scarf and pressing it deep in the middle of the summer.

Obviously, he looked very hungry.

He hesitates for a long time in front of the rice restaurant, but feels popular and disappears quickly.

“....... ”

Chulho looked behind him and walked in through the door of the restaurant.

The End
